Set Free Ministries, Florida, USA

Powerfully Connecting With Our Kids' World While Affirming Them with Vital Christian Family Values

Set Free Ministries operates a rescue mission which provides shelter and care for people with life controlling sin addiction. The goal of the ministry is to present the gospel message of God's grace to those that seek help through the ministry and allow the Holy Spirit to change their lives. Bob is actively involved in the counseling and discipleship of these individuals. Set Free also seeks to train church leadership to help them make it easier for people with life controlling problems to be assimilated into the local church.

Bob also coordinates as 'grace' oriented marial arts program that uses that medium to develop Christian character in young men and women. Beth Xavier assists Bob with co-counseling of women residents, provides hospitality and a healthy role-model to women residents.

Xavier's June 5, 2010 Ministry Update

Dear Beloved TCM Friends,

Seldom is there a day that passes that I do not thank the Lord for the ministry He has given us as TCM missionaries.  I wrote in our most recent newsletter that I sometimes feel like one of the most blessed missionaries/pastors on the planet.  Our sincere love and gratefulness for the TCM leadership is far above words.  Your ministry, friendship, and fellowship have been wonderful gifts from the Lord to our family.  Your intercessory prayers for our family and for the youth and families we are serving have eternal value and are greatly appreciated!   We do pray that each of you and your families are all doing well, both in their health and well-being, even as your souls continue to prosper. 

This summer I gave the responsibility of teaching some of our local Grace Martial Arts (GMA) church camps to John Phillips.  John has become a very trusted friend and a magnificent blessing.  He has a huge passion for evangelism and is a highly accomplished black belt teacher who readily wins the trust and respect of young people. 

I have committed my summer schedule to instruct six week-long Grace Martial Arts Bible Camps.  Three of these camps will be held at Grace Churches.  The hearts of the children have been incredibly receptive to our grace-centered evangelistic Gospel messages.  Our Bible focus will be Our Need for Christ and Who We Are In Christ.  Most children are very much committed to the grace-centered Biblical class structure.  We sincerely request your continued prayers that the Word of God will engage the children’s hearts.  We pray that, through Christ’s love, acceptance and forgiveness, the light of our Savior will shine brightly from each child.

 WAKE UP CALL:  Imagine an America At Less than 4% True Christian

 The current trends show that less than 4% of today’s teenagers will be evangelical believers by the time they become adults.  Our youth and, with them, our nation are on the verge of a catastrophe!  That means that our nation will lose most of its Christian family values and the freedoms for which we have been fighting for nearly 240 years.  Most importantly, countless millions of individual souls will enter eternal darkness and blackness forever and ever.  With the  grace of God going before us, we can provide greater hope for making an eternal difference for those the Lord sends us.

We recently have ended our seven 2009 and 2010 after-school and home-school Grace Martial Arts Bible Clubs by graduating nearly 150 students.  We held a student demonstration and awards presentation and had nearly three hundred parents and friends attend.  Lots and lots of fun was had and plenty of hard work was done by every student and servant leader, especially my daughter Rebecca and son-in-law Chris and Beth.

Our youngest daughter Rachel Anne Violette Xavier graduated from her Christian high school yesterday as valedictorian.  I am sending her valedictorian speech.  We are so very blessed by all of our children’s desire to know Christ and to make Him known.

The Grace Martial Arts Bible Clubs and Camps have been powerfully connecting with our  kids’ world.  The clubs have been growing, both in size and youth leadership. We are committed to teach vital Christian family values and to provide sustained, loving Christ-centered friendships for the students throughout the year.  Christian Bible clubs and camps like Grace Martial Arts are making a contribution to reversing the 4% trend by helping to transform children into Champions for Christ.  We are extremely thankful for your prayer partnership and financial assistance that helps to sustain the creditability of the Lord’s work in and through the Set Free Youth and Family Ministries, Inc.
 

In Christ’s Magnificent Love and Grace,
Bob, Beth & Family
